Microsoft has confirmed that the traditional decade-long support for new versions of Windows will apply to Windows 10 as well. As is the case with all versions of the operating system, Microsoft will continue to add new features and improvements for the first five years after the release, with the next five years being dedicated to bug fixes and security updates.

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue its traditional 10 years of support for Windows 10. The company has updated its Windows lifecycle page, showing that its support for Windows 10 will officially end on October 14, 2025. The page shows that mainstream support for Windows 10, like all previous versions of the OS, will end on October 13, 2020, over five years after it officially launches on July 29. The end of mainstream support means that Microsoft won’t be adding any major new features or improvements to the OS after that date. However, security updates and bug fixes for Windows 10 will continue for an additional five years, again just like all previous versions of Windows have had, until the extended support period ends on October 14, 2025.
